Re: First Robotics Books

The Big CIMs were before you were involved, I think--I remember them in '06 and maybe '07. Many teams noticed that they didn't have the same or better performance as the CIMs that we use these days, which we also had then. They were also about the third-heaviest item in the KOP, weighing in right behind the batteries and the compressor. Hence, a lot of teams didn't use them.

The teams that did tended to use them outside of the drivetrain.
